Dai Er, Huipu, Asus, Four Star, Acer, Dongzhi, Suini, Songxia, Mingqi, Shenzhou... major PC manufacturers have begun to launch netbooks. This kind of cheap notebook computers seems to have become popular all of a sudden. .
The prices range from US$400 to US$500, and all come pre-installed with the OS system.
The vista system cannot be used, but the p system can be used, but isn't it said that p will stop updating the service? If the p system is pre-installed, who will buy it
Originally, the security of the p system was poor. There was no update and maintenance service anymore, and the system could collapse at any time. Besides, those new software all support os, but many do not support p.
In less than a month, the global sales of netbooks have exceeded five million units. Among them, Lianxiang's is still the best-selling one, followed by Dai Er, Huipu and Asus, followed by Fang Zheng and Tongfang. Island country brands and South Korean brands are not ranked at all.
At this time, Microsoft discovered that netbooks were also a conspiracy against Microsoft!
In order to provide consumers with a cheap entertainment notebook, there may be this reason, but the more reason is to promote the OS system.
This month's notebook sales were less than 10 million units, half of which were netbooks, and among the other half, many were pre-installed with the OS system. This shows that in terms of notebook computers alone, even thinking about it The market share of Yinshan system exceeds that of Microsoft system!
No wonder Lianxiang Group would launch such a low-priced netbook. They also said that Lianxiang Group was reducing its own profits and seizing the market while also hurting itself. I didn't expect it to have such a deeper meaning.
Lianxiang Group is still the major shareholder of Lianxiang Yinshan. Lianxiang Yinshan's profits also represent Lianxiang Group's profits.
Take a look at IBM. At first, it focused on hardware, but lost money. Later, it adjusted its strategy and focused on software development, supplemented by hardware, and its profits suddenly increased.
Now IBM is the second largest software company in the world, second only to Microsoft. It also allows IBM to maintain its leading position in the entire IT industry.
Lianxiang Group, this is to imitate IBM, mainly promote software, and then supplement it with hardware. In other words, Lianxiang Group combines IBM's strategy with that of Fruit Company and has carved out a path of their own.
It just so happens that Lianxiang Group is backed by the large markets of China and Eastern Europe, which represent nearly one-third of the world's population. Although the financial situation of consumers in this market is a bit poor, the potential is huge.
Then think about Feng Yu’s stake in companies such as AMD Semiconductor, Yingweida, and Kingston, as well as the fact that Lianxiang Group itself produces hard drives, optical drives, and USB flash drives. Even the most basic crystalline silicon factory in the industry, the largest in the world, is controlled by In the hands of Taihua Holdings, didn't they say that in a few years, Feng Yu alone could influence the entire IT industry
Bill Gates did not expect that Feng Yu was so ambitious. At that time, Kameda Masao became the director of SoftBank. Was it also Feng Yu's instruction with the intention of swallowing Softbank too
Fortunately, it didn't work out and Kameda Masao also resigned. Otherwise, in terms of software strength alone, Feng Yu might have surpassed Microsoft.
Bill Gates didn't know yet that Feng Yu had no plans to annex Soft Bank. Soft Bank is good, but Feng Yu doesn't like Soft Bank's business philosophy very much. It's purely the approach of a speculative businessman.
Invest in companies with a little bit of potential, then run them public, increase the stock price, and sell them to cash out to make money. As for whether that company will survive or die in the future, they simply ignore it.
Feng Yu despised this kind of business method. This is equivalent to stealing the money of those investors, and the Internet bubble was also caused by these people.
Of course, Feng Yu wouldn't mind if he could go to the island country to make a fortune using this method. But if SoftBank wants to control those companies in China and list them in China, it will be a trap for China's investors.
How could Feng Yu let Softbank succeed? Even if Soft Bank has no intention of making a profit through this method, Feng Yu has ordered people to rush to invest first in companies that he is really optimistic about, offering better conditions, or attracting state investment, so Soft Bank cannot be allowed to take advantage of this. Got it!
Bill Gates still didn't know Feng Yu well enough, so he made a wrong judgment on this matter. Feng Yu asked Kameda Masao to do some soft work. One was to do some joint work to pave the way for the os, and the other was to ask Kameda Masao to improve his family's status in the island country.
Now it seems that both of them are very successful, especially the promotion of os, which makes Feng Yu most satisfied.
…
"Bill, we must fight back. If things continue to develop like this, os will really succeed and will surpass the fruit company and pose a greater threat to us!" Paul Allen said anxiously.
The fruit company was able to rise, in fact, it was Microsoft's intention. When the fruit company was about to go bankrupt, it was Bill Gates who injected US$100 million to support the fruit company in starting anew.
Because they need such a company that makes p systems to prevent Microsoft from forming an absolute monopoly and being forced to split up, or force the price of their Microsoft systems to be lowered.
Otherwise, Microsoft's best choice at that time was to swallow up the fruit company. How could it support their development
The Fruit Company has always been under the control of Microsoft. Although there are occasional outstanding performances that make Microsoft a little embarrassed, in the end it cannot pose a de facto threat to Microsoft.
Just like Chaowei and Intelligent in the past, Intelligent had countless opportunities to completely trample Chaowei to death, but they did not have that choice, and they could not choose that way.
The fruit company Microsoft can endure and needs to endure. But this Lianxiang Group, especially Lianxiang Yinshan Company, is absolutely intolerable to Microsoft. This is beyond the maximum range of what they can tolerate.
But how to fight back is the biggest problem right now.
Originally, he thought that with the launch of the Vista system, he would defeat OS in half a year to a year, making OS like the fruit company's system, with a market share less than a fraction of theirs.
But now it seems that I can't hold it back anymore.
Their Vista system did not sell as well as they imagined. Even those PC manufacturers said that the sales of PCs equipped with Vista system were not particularly good, and the market response was not good.
One is that users are not used to it. On the day of the press conference, the questions raised by some people seemed to have been fulfilled, making users feel that Vista can only serve computers with extremely high performance.
Another issue is product compatibility, especially compatibility with other software. This makes many business offices and some professional software unusable. For those who play games, many games do not support Vista at all.
Therefore, the sales of Vista at this time were far worse than they expected.
Bill Gates thought for a while: "It seems that we have to draw out the firepower!"
